​

As a lifelong Durhamite, I’ve called Durham, NC, home for most of my life. My artistic journey has been diverse, marked by involvement in performance art with Awakening CHANGE in 2009-2010 and art photoshoots with Side Yard Studios. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in IT, and I currently work as an IT Systems Administrator.

​

My passion for art and film took an exciting turn when the incredible Edie Eberhardt and Jeri Hernandez from High Grass Hideout Studios invited me to be part of a horror short film. I eagerly accepted, marking my debut in short filmmaking. Working with HGHS has been immensely rewarding, as I cherish the relationships with both new and old friends.

​

An interesting facet of my life is being a CODA (Child of a Deaf Adult), which has made me fluent in ASL. This unique experience enriches my interactions and communication within the artistic community.

​

For those navigating the industry, my advice is to balance seriousness with enjoyment: "Keep your serious moments to get the job done. Just remember to have fun with it or what is the point?"

​

With many more HGHS projects in the pipeline, I am thrilled to continue this creative journey, blending my IT expertise with my love for art and film.
